Event Information
This event is suitable both for those that are relatively new to coaching and for those that have been using a coaching approach for a while.
In this very practical workshop we will share some key tips and tools for building on the foundational coaching skills of active listening and effective questioning to help take coaching approaches to the next level. There will be a particular focus on building and maintaining personal presence and resourcefulness, as well as using coaching skills to successfully manage more challenging conversations.
Workshop objectives

- Deepen understanding of key coaching skills and mindsets and practise new tools and approaches
- Consider how to use coaching skills to successfully navigate more challenging conversations to build mutual understanding and positive outcomes
This workshop will be delivered by professional leadership coach and facilitator Jean Crawford. Jean has coached well over a thousand leaders across education, public and corporate sectors, and holds a particular passion to support others to optimise their personal effectiveness and fulfilment.
